MasterKey, Readme.txt: 01:41 05/16/1999

MasterKey is a real-time encryption program. this means that
you don't need to mind about your private files.

With MasterKey you'll just have to:

1) define your own private key 
	( which will be used for encryption algorithms)
2) choose the folder(s) you want to secure 
	( they must not exist, or be free of any file)

Once you have done this, MasterKey is ready to use, and
is already working.

MasterKey offers you two main features:
(available from the left clicked menu. MasterKey icon
is on the task bar).


* When in 'run mode', MasterKey will encrypt and uncrypt
  any files from the folders you have defined. ie: if you
  save a picture into one of those folders, MasterKey will
  intercept it and encrypt it whithout any more action. You
  won't have to do anything. When you'll read the same 
  picture, MasterKey will uncrypt it, and provide a correct
  picture to your favorite browser or painter tool.

  To be in 'run mode' MasterKey need your private key. You
  will have to provide it just before accessing your privates
  folders (once).


* The 'suspend mode'. In this mode, MasterKey will not
  allows any access to your privates files. You cannot
  read, rename, execute, write, move... any file file
  protected by MasterKey.

	
MasterKey allows you to customize some of the features
provided. You can access them in the Option dialog-box.

Once MasterKey installed and configured, you'll won't 
have to mind about your privates files.

Correct key has been provided : the  file access
will be granted.

No key or bad key is provided : The system will return 
'Access denied', or will ask you for the key. 
(as you've decided in the option dialog box)
